- Description
- US Army, Office of the Project Manager for Tank and Midium-caliber Armament Systems (OPM TMAS) intends to issue a Request for Proposal for System Development and Demonstration (SDD) and production for a 120mm tank fired, anti-personnel canister cartridge, XM1028. The cartridge is intended to be used against dis-mounted Anti-Tank Guided Missile Teams (ATGM). The cartridge is to be fired from the M1A1/M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank with the M256 smoothbore cannon. It is the Government's intention to limit competition to US/Canadian firms. The range requirements for the canister cartridge are: 200-500 meters (threshold) and 100-700 meters (objective). The requirement is to defeat equal to or greater than 50% of a 10 man squad with 1 shot and equal to or greater than 50% of a 30 man platoon with 2 shots. The solicitation will include a requirement to meet a Performance Specification. Engineering design/ testing data performed to date will be provided for information. The SDD effort will contain an initial 9 month optimization design phase which will culminate with a Design Evaluation Test (DET) conducted by the Government to assess the performance of the contractor's design. There will be a second 9 month follow-on phase for the contractor to demonstrate the proposed production process by manufacturing qualifiction hardware and for the Government to conduct a Product Qualification Test (PQT). The contract will also contain production options: 4,000 +/- 20% for Low Rate Initial Production and 12,000 +/- 20% for full rate production. Should funding become available, options for approximately 20,000 additional cartridges may be included. See numbered note 13.
